Akron head coach Evgeny Kaleshin, after defeating Lokomotiv in the FONBET Cup of Russia, noted the game of Moscow striker Sergey Pinyaev.
The match of the second stage of the ¼ finals of the FONBET Cup of the Path of the Regions of Russia took place on Tuesday in Zhigulevsk. The main time of the match ended in a draw with the score 1:1. In the penalty shootout, Akron players were more accurate – 7:6.
– We weren’t going to give up the game like that, the initiative in the second half, but the opponent forced us to play like that. We did not have enough dynamics and pressure on the goal and the opposing defense, the initiative went to Lokomotiv. They have a very active left flank. Pinyaev created an individual advantage. He had a lot of emotion. In the second half, we had a chance in concrete, where we were able to tip the game in our favor. We won through dedication, faith in each other. We are very happy to have made happy our guys, our relatives, our fans and the people of the city. Substitutions at the end of the match? Moments purely of play, we felt that we were inferior in dynamics. I think they were right, it was a very tough second half,” Kaleshin said on .
